HOMEMAKING & FINE ART DEPARTMENTS SPECIAL CONTEST

NEW!! NATIVE AMERICAN INDIAN CULTURAL AWARDS

In honor and memory of Native Americans who lived in the Shenandoah area, this new art award supports art projects that engage communities, enhance creativity and enrich the vibrancy of Native American culture and history in the region.

The 2017 theme is “Painted Ponies.”

Judges will select relative entries exhibited based on artistic quality, uniqueness and on how imaginative the work captures the spirit of “Painted Ponies.” The work does not have to literally depict real horses.

All artwork must be original and created by the artist.

Exhibits may be entered in ANY department and class within the entire Fine Arts and Homemaking Section such as Arts & Crafts, Needle Art, Hobbies/Collections, etc.

Winners in the Adult (20 and over), Teen (ages 13-19) and Youth (12 and under) categories receive four free tickets to The Gathering along with special honors at The Gathering harvest festival. The Gathering is a Native American festival being held at the Clarke County Fairgrounds on Oct. 21-22, 2017 that includes dancing, music, veteran and uniformed services tribute, painted ponies, motorcycle run (iron horse) and more.
